During the freshman year the studentsspend thirteen weeks at practical foundry work, moulding andcasting whatever is needed in the machine shop or otherplaces. No description of the exercises is given, because, asstated, no two students do just the same work. METAL ROOM. Bench Work.—In this room the students are given instruc-tion in bench and machine work. The catalogue requires thatthe students should enter this room with the freshman half of this year is spent at the bench. During this timethe students are taught, by means of a series of graded exer-cises as shown in Plate 4, the practical use of all the benchtools, their names and how they should be cared for. Theyare taught to work from drawings, as well as models fromwhich they take their own measurements. In these exercisesthey are made famiHar w^ith the principal metals of manufac-ture and are taught the manner and methods used for workingeach. Special attention is paid to the methods of laying ^ HP t^ 0 !Q ( 1 0 0 I( 0 ( i 0 ( 1 r- m r^^ m > No. I.— Chipping Exercise. The object of this is to secureby the use of the chisels an approximately plane surface. The -96- student is given a block of cast iron, as is shown in i of Plate4, and is told how to make the guiding lines, how the chise^should be ground (having learned in the forge room how itshould be tempered), how the chisel should be held, how thehammer should be held, and where to begin and end so thatthe best results may be obtained. No. 2.— Chipping, Filing and Polishing. The object is tomake a chamber around the top face of a given rectangularblock and smooth and polish the top face, ends and sides. Inthis exercise the work is more difficult to hold firmly in thevise, and, after the chisel has been used, the file is taken totrue the faces of the bevel and bring them to lines, whichhave been lai,d off the proper distance from the edges.
